I’ve lived in Cincinnati for a year now. Here are my takeaways:
1. This is a SPORTS TOWN. Bearcats, Bengals, Reds, FC Cincy, the Cyclones… I’m all in!
Personal s/o to Bearcat fans. It’s amazing to walk out to 10,000+ every night in 5/3. You’re also really good at Twitter. 😂
In honor of today (in a non-Covid year) being the first day of the July AAU recruiting period:
These patented poses are known as the “Call you right back I think I’m on the wrong court” and the “Hold up the book says he’s
#24
... but I think he’s wearing
#6
?” 🤣
Isaiah Miller is the only player in UNCG history to play in 2️⃣ NCAA Tournaments. He RAISED THE STANDARD for what it means to be a Spartan. The ultimate winner/competitor. Excited for our group to honor him by continuing to raise that standard...

Listen to this clip...

discussing why his team demonstrated peaceful protest during the anthem.
This is leadership. Bigger than basketball.

Just saw a kid doing dribble moves outside on a neighborhood sidewalk, in December with no phones or cameras out. Notching like that pure love of the game! 🏀
He’s been in the profession as an assistant or head coach for over 20 years, but he’s not above picking up the chairs after film... Grateful to have this kind of example in our program every day!
Confirmed: The freshman class is FIRED UP for hoops season! They promised to check their email in October for season tickets. 🔴⚫️

We decided to get dressed up and put on an Easter morning family photoshoot... even though we have nowhere to go 🤣
Other than Juju’s double-nostril nose-pick in the last one, I’d call it a win! Happy Easter! 🐰
5 years ago this guy burst onto the scene! This weekend he wants a Bearcats win, a Bengals win, a trip to “the bouncy house place” and a funfetti cake. Love this dude. ❤️
4️⃣ years old today! 🎈
According to him, 4 means he has to drop his nickname (Juju) and can only respond to his full name (Julius). Said it also means he needs new shark slippers. The old ones only fit when he was 3… so, yesterday. Both wishes granted. Happy Birthday JULIUS 🦈
Best of luck to my guy
@CL_Cincy
as he moves into the private sector. Chris was not only a huge asset to UC athletics but he became a close friend and supporter as our family fought Kelly's fight. Love you brother. Thanks for everything!
2 Godfathers. Let’s go.
Noteworthy tidbit: The fries that didn’t make the cut in the Chilito are served as a side!!! (not pictured — ate those already 😂)

HUGE thanks to everyone who participated in our
#UNCGatlarge
campaign. Our push gained national traction! We are disappointed and feel we deserve to be in the NCAA field, but here at UNCG we say "Next Play!" Time to prepare for a big time NIT game in our gym.
"I came to Cincinnati because I always wanted to be somewhere that was one of the greatest college basketball programs in the country. I think we can be that. ... You guys already are."

Great to have UC legend Bob Miller from the 70’s stop by today! Could’ve listened to his George Gervin & Oscar Robertson stories all day long!

Can I get a LET’S GO!?
That feeling when you finish out an AWESOME camp week! 😂
Kids were a 10/10. Great energy, competed hard, listened, and got better.
We’ll be back next summer. 👏
Ended today's workout with "12 in 1" 3pt shooting drill. This clip shows the last 15 seconds.
1 min on the clock. 1 ball. 1 rebounder. All shots on the move. Gotta make 12.
Rebounder/passer has to WORK and put passes on the money.
Teammates celebrate the W! 🔥
Special moments like this are not possible without the unsung heroes. To our scout team, our student managers, our band, our dance team, our cheerleaders, our student section, our parents, and our fans, THANK YOU.

My 1-yr-old son was traumatized by the sight of Covid Santa.
My 2-yr-old son told Covid Santa that all he wants for Christmas is a real-life giraffe... and hippo.
Happy Holidays! 🎅😷🦒🦛
Happy Birthday to the newest member of our Graduate Assistant crew! J-Mac is originally from North Carolina and was a 4-year point guard at Stony Brook. 🎈
The Cats are back! 🏀
@GoBearcatsMBB
will wear '70s throwback uniforms on Thursday, Feb. 3 against Memphis and Saturday, Feb. 26 against South Florida.

So impressed by the number of texts/calls from HS & AAU coaches about the 2022 class.
Players: a simple THANK YOU to your coaches goes a long way! They send us game film, highlights, transcripts, contact info — all just to get YOU on our radar/help you reach your goals 👊🏀
